London: Arsenal continue their defence of the FA Cup with a home tie against lower division opposition in the fifth round but manager Arsene Wenger has promised the Gunners will not be taking Middlesbrough lightly.

Boro are currently top of the Championship table and produced one of the shocks of the previous round by winning 2-0 at Premier League champions Manchester City. Arsenal won 3-2 at Brighton and Hove Albion, another Championship side, that weekend and Wenger admitted there would be no excuses should the Gunners fail to progress.
